Question: What are some of the challenges people will be facing once the current economic system is replaced?

LaRouche: In a sense, when you go into a new society—it would be like being an immigrant into a new nation, because the nation is going to have to change. And therefore, a sudden, rather rapid change, into being a new nation, is somewhat like entering a new nation. That is, you're in the same physical surroundings, but suddenly the rules are different. The perspectives are different. The ideas are different. That's the point. That's the shock effect.

The key thing is, I'm relying largely upon the effect of a youth movement of the type we have, to spread that as a pattern, because what you need is the same thing you guys who are doing that, are doing. That is, to get into groups, where you thrash out issues and discussions of principle, you learn to cooperate in new ways, through that kind of discussion, and to extend that method of operation to include more people, because we're going to go through some very rapid changes. And therefore, what is needed is a sense of how to make these kinds of changes. And the best way to do it—it has to be voluntary, as you know. That's why I've meddled as little as possible in the youth movement, because it has to be voluntary. You guys have to do it. You have to develop your techniques, you have to decide on it. I can give you some guidance, give you some stimulation, and direction. But the change that's going to be made, you're going to make, not me. And therefore, what you learn, from this experience, and what you do, will be valuable for other people, on a larger scale, once we start the change.
